Just a suggestion, when playing ride patters, play the hihat (with the pedal) on the the upbeats of the eighth notes it adds a little "flare" without making a song too busy
Trying tuning your toms a little lower, might fit this kind of music better. Snare sounds incredible, so does the K crash obviously. Great groove man.
I wouldn't say tune them lower, just adding an extra tom to finish the toms 'sentence' during the fills. But for sure, DEFINITELY sounds great as is. Great job, kid!
Just like Jason McGerr, hes my favorite drummer and with your style id say your one of my favorites aswell, make more videos like this, this my favorite style of drumming, it sounds relativly simple so the music isnt being destroyed when really it is very complicated and technical
we all have diffent tatstes in music kid and i do, carter beuford is great but i can barley stand DMB Dave Wekle is amazing too but have u ever noticed he starts every solo vid with the same fills? And id rather play something that sounds simple and makes the music sound better than something that is way unessicary, thats why i like Jason McGerr
Great stuff. Good technique and ideas while still being reserved. If I had to say anything, and this does come down to choice, but I'd say it feels a little too "on top" of the beat to me. Sounds like you're pushing the song a little, rather than settling in with it. Keep at it and take care!
I'm a Paiste user myself, and I know I'll never change but i have to say, I like the way when you crash that K gently, it sounds so nice. It's like a smooth, dark, whispy sound. Real Nice sound, but not for me.
Keep it up! Playing drums over an already recorded instrument is not easy to do, your good now in a few years you'll will be as good as you dream! Plus it's Funky!!! Good Job!
Hahaha thanks, the snare does look like your pacific, but it's a Yamaha Steve Jordan with woodhoops....Thanks for commenting John, I'm not much of a keyboard player actually, this thing took me awhile to kinda nail it.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE KIT?!?!?
